Mother's Day Retail Hell Fallout
No, it's not Halloween. Apparently all was not Mother's Day calm yesterday in
retailland. We received this disturbing message from Retail Slave
Abrina in California:
"I always thought that Mother's Day was a day where you can thank your mom for all the crap she has to put up with you, and with breakfast in bed, and a full day of spending quality time together all day.... I thought wrong.
In Retail Hell today, I had hundreds of mothers, bring their screaming, crying children into our store and let messes settle after they passed though.
I cleaned up a melted icee, and I smelled like artificial blue raspberries. I told a customer I'll be right back, and the other, standing right there, asked me a questing as I was leaving. "Didn't you freaking hear me when I said I would be back in a moment, yes I'll look for a shoe for you when I'm trying to escape insanity, in a world where college educated persons don't even know how to read a black and white sign right above the damn product. So I'll be right back in a moment."
Customers want so much from a poor sales associate, working all alone in a demanding department, do they want me to wipe their ass too after they shit? I mean they can't even throw away their Surf City cup in a trash can five feet away, in clear view. In a mayan world, I can't wait till 2012, so maybe we can kill off some stupid people.
Hope all your Mother's Days were more pleasant that mine! In Retail Hell, I truly feel like a mom, cleaning up my children's messes, all the time."
Thanks for venting with us Abrina. We hope you are off today. We wanted to do something to cheer you up and we know you like animation, so here is a link to a funny potty-humor short from Weebl's Stuff.com. Enjoy. We all need a good Monday laugh, especially those of us who spent yesterday in Retail Hell.
Hope you are having a better day Abrina! NOT in the store!!!!

This is despicable! I would never leave my kids messes at a store...that's what Nannies are for! To clean it up! Where are all the nannies for these mothers?

As being an on-looker of Mom day..its becoming more and more of a consumer thing *eww*
I can't say much, but "Thank you" for putting up with this crap

Mother's Day at our store wasn't bad actually. Surprise surprise lol. If I was at GB it would've been a different story.

Our store is never that bad I don't think but I am surprised at the amount of people that still go shopping on days like these. I think some people feel they've wasted a day if the don't go inside a shop. Must...go...shopping...can't...no...must...shop.
